9 Notes to the interim financial report for the quarter ended 20 August 2012 B ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE BURSA SECURITIES LISTING REQUIREMENTS 1 Performance Review The Company s revenue recorded 35.5% and 33.7% growth respectively for the second quarter and six months ended 20 August 2012 compared to the previous year corresponding period. Total transaction and financing volume in the second quarter and six months ended 20 August 2012 was RM 602 million and RM1,126 million, representing growth of 39.6% and 39.9% respectively from previous year corresponding period. The Company realised growth in business and receivables based on increased financing transaction volume attributable to continued favourable economic environment and marketing and promotion activities. The financing receivables as at 20 August 2012 was RM 1,864 million, representing growth of 41.6% from RM 1,316 million as at 20 August Meanwhile, non-performing loans (NPL) ratio was 1.53% as at August 2012 compared to 1.63% as at August 2011, reflecting satisfactory asset quality management. Increase in operating costs for the six months ended 20 August 2012 by 28.8% from previous year corresponding period is in tandem with business growth and lower than revenue growth of 33.7%. The Company was able to record improved margin of profit before tax against revenue for the year of 38.3% compared to 35.8% in the previous year due to improved cost efficiency from sharp growth in receivables in the year and lower ratio of net impairment loss charge for the financial year against total financing receivables. Average funding cost in August 2012 was marginally lower compared to August 2011 due to new funding at competitive rates from various sources. Other operating income recorded of RM million and RM million for the second quarter and six months ended 20 August 2012, was 36.4% and 44.0% higher than previous year corresponding period respectively. This is attributable to continued growth in fee income, including from sales of insurance products and commission income from credit recovery services as well as increase in bad debts recovered. Profit before tax of RM million and RM million for the current quarter and six months ended 20 August 2012 represent increase of 38.6% and 43.3% from previous year corresponding period respectively. 2 Material Change in Profit before Taxation of Current Quarter Compared with Preceding Quarter The Company s profit before taxation (PBT) of RM million for the current quarter is higher than the PBT of RM million in the preceding quarter ended 20 May 2012 mainly arising from growth in receivables and increased financing transaction volume in the period contributing to higher net operating income. 3 Current Year Prospects The Malaysian economy registered a growth of 5.4% in the second quarter of 2012, due to strong domestic demand, supported by both private and public sector spending, with the economic growth forecast for 2012 of between 4.0% and 5.0%. The Company expects to be able to maintain its good performance in the remainder of the financial year based on current strong demand and positive market trend. Further, the Company will continue to open new branches and expand its services to further grow its business to increase its market share, especially in the middle income segment of the market. 4
